This and That

I can't believe it's been a whole week since my last post. Homework, studying and 2 hour test after test have been getting in the way of quilting. This dental class is a bit more intense than I expected. I just have to hang in there for the next 2 months. I hope I can do it.

I started these square in a square blocks using civil war fabrics. The blue background I really like but unfortunately I bought that piece a few years ago and there isn't enough even for a lap quilt. I might have enough for a small table quilt. Maybe, I'll have to see if I can "make do" and introduce another blue that will imitate this same blue, as close match as I could find. I could just go out and buy a different blue but I was hoping to make this quilt from my stash...we'll see.

My Little Jo club was last week. Here are some of the 4 patch quilts from the group. Looks like I didn't get them all in the picture and it's not the best picture. One of the ladies used a feature fabric and made large borders around her 4 patch, it really looks spectacular in person.


We had snow yesterday which is very unusual for this area. I hope we'll get spring soon, I'm very tired of the cold....brrrr.
